Energy transfer
This resource looks at energy transfer, work done, energy efficiency and Sankey diagrams, in the context of the Gravity Jet Suit.
3D printing the Gravity Jet Suit
Parts of the turbine engines for the Gravity Jet Suit are made through additive manufacturing, through a type of 3D printing using sintering of powdered metal. This process is explained in this resource.
Resultant forces
There are a total of five turbine engines on the Gravity Jet Suit. This resources uses the suit to look at resolving forces and free body diagrams.
Sound waves
The Gravity Jet Suit creates a lot of noise. This resource explains how sound waves travel and are detected by the human ear.
